Psychotherapy is a shared process that requires thoughtful dialog and trust. Successful therapy creates healthy lifestyle changes and fosters physical, emotional, cognitive, relational, spiritual, and financial wellbeing. I will take the time to understand your experience and practice accordingly. I believe the best person to determine whether therapy is working is you. By creating a safe and genuine relationship, we can develop focused goals and strategies that support growth, healing, and inner peace.

The road to healing and wholeness is a personal and sacred journey. My philosophy, as both a clinical psychologist and life coach, is that the human spirit can be empowered to overcome traumatic experiences and memories that keep one from enjoying a more fulfilling life. I am affiliated with Pali Momi Medical Center and work with physicians to provide an integrated approach to health and wellness.

Life is a dynamic and ever moving process. As humans, we are constantly driven towards growth and potential, while simultaneously towards defending ourselves from the suffering and pain that so often affect our lives. Psychotherapy offers the possibility of enhancing awareness and understanding of oneself, ones experience of the world, and ones unique style of managing life's challenges. Through the process of effective psychotherapy people often move beyond the removal of problems or symptoms towards acceptance and awareness of self, and further towards actualization of personal potential.

My particular interest and expertise is in challenges faced by couples: cultural differences, issues of step-families, aftermath of infidelity, fertility issues, serious illness or loss in the family, low-sex and no-sex couples, raising adolescents - and empty nest issues... Another area of work is dealing with the dissolution of the relationship - how to say good-bye with dignity, and how to mend a broken heart and renew your spirit, and your joy of life. And of course, if there are children involved, our focus would be on protecting them from the aftermath of the divorce as much as possible.

We all encounter difficult times in life. Fortunately, the loneliness, pain, loss, and stress that we experience within these times are not permanent. They are not the end of the story. Rather, it is in our nature to overcome the difficulties and adversity that we are faced with. A deeper knowing, softer heart, and inner strength await on the other side. While facing our struggles independently of others has its value, wisdom lies in recognizing the importance of trusting in safe relationships to help us through the difficult times that we face.
